If you have paid attention to the news, you have seen the devastation cyber attacks can have on businesses and governments. As a result, cyber security needs to be a priority from day one of software development. As a result, a new approach to software development has emerged, DevSecOps. DevSecOps is a new software development approach that embeds security at every phase of the traditional DevOps pipeline.
Cyber threats are growing, and they are getting more costly every year. More companies are utilizing the power of big data, which is great for analytics, but it also means more data is being collected that could be potentially compromised.
DevSecOps ensures that your project’s code is designed securely, not made secure after software development. The sooner your team can find security vulnerabilities in code, APIs, databases, etc., the sooner they can be addressed. Cyber security never evolves as fast as cyber threats, so it is important to prioritize security from day one.
